Overnight Margins
While day-trading margins are required on positions that are entered and exited in the same trading session, overnight margins are higher amounts required by the exchange to hold a position into the close of the trading session. Overnight margins are subject to change and we therefore suggest checking the exchange website for updates.

If your account goes below the day-trading margin requirements, the Trade Desk may be forced to liquidate your position. Repeated violations of margin requirements can result in higher day-trading margins.
